Guidance on Key Considerations for the Identification and Selection of Safer Chemical Alternatives

This guidance was developed with the aim to advance broader agreement on a general approach and criteria for the selection of safer alternatives, with a focus on chemical substitution. It is intended to advance a consistent understanding of the minimum requirements needed to determine whether a chemical alternative is safer than the priority chemical, product, or technology for substitution, independent of the entity performing the assessment or the alternatives assessment framework being used. 

Green recovery of amorphous silica from silicone waste: Alkali activation and thermal treatment

This study presents a green and sustainable method for recovering high-purity silica from solid silicone by-products derived from industrial silicone oil manufacturing through alkali-assisted sol–gel synthesis, with and without thermal treatment. Sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate were used to evaluate the effects of alkali type, concentration, and calcination at 800 °C on silica yield, structure, and performance.

The nexus between alternatives assessment and green chemistry: supporting the development and adoption of safer chemicals

Alternatives assessment and green chemistry share a common goal of supporting the transition to safer, more sustainable chemicals, materials, and products. Yet the two fields, and their respective scientific communities, are not well integrated.
